King to King, Queen to Queen :
The Cambridges' are coming to Los Angeles!
LOS ANGELES — There will be stops in Beverly Hills and Skid Row, along with a charity polo match in Santa Barbara. But there will be no time for Disneyland or the La Brea Tar Pits. |
| A few days ago, arrival in PEI |
From the NYT :
Britain’s newest royal couple is scheduled to arrive here on Friday, visiting Southern California for a little more than 48 hours on an official visit that palace officials say will “support the interests of the United Kingdom through the prism of the royal couple’s interest.”
Apparently, that does not include stops at the major tourist attractions.
Instead, Prince William and Kate Middleton will shuttle between events that are meant to highlight British businesses and filmmakers, raise money for the prince’s charity at the polo match and stop at an arts organization that caters to poor children and teenagers near downtown.Los Angeles Police Department officials have already begun cracking down on the paparazzi expected to try to elbow their way into the area surrounding the British consul-general’s residence, where the couple is staying. The police are closing nearby streets and have said they will arrest anyone who tries to camp out on neighboring lawns, driveways and sidewalks.
"We deal with all kinds of dignitaries and actors and actresses, but it can be something very different when anyone related to Princess Diana is involved,” said Mitzi Fierro, a spokeswoman for the Police Department.
The couple will arrive at Los Angeles International Airport to be greeted by Gov. Jerry Brown and his wife, Anne Gust, then head to a reception at the consul-general’s residence. Saturday night brings their closest encounter with Hollywood royalty, a black tie bash for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, where celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman and Gennifer Goodwin are expected to attend. They will end their visit by attending a job fair for veterans before flying back home on Sunday afternoon.
Nearly all of the events are closed to the public and should not even afford the uninvited as much as a glimpse of the couple.
But for those who want a clear view of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, space is still available for the Foundation Polo Challenge in Santa Barbara on Saturday. There are $400 tickets for a spot in the stands and $4,000 V.I.P. ticket for a private lunch created by Giada De Laurentiis, with proceeds going to the American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, his brother. On the menu: sweet corn lasagna with blistered tomatoes, and pea pesto and beef tenderloin crostini.
Organizers say they are confident the event will sell out. But for those who will not fork over the money, there will be no shortage of pictures — more than 200 media organizations have received credentials to cover the event.
We have not been wall to wall Catherine Fashion, cause she has been up in the NWT hunting bears or something and has gone all Commonwealth Casual for the trek.
